Hey, are you okay? It seems like this post has brought up some difficult stuff for you, and your own marriage. You're pointing out that OP deserves someone who won't treat her badly, I wonder if you can say the same for yourself? It sounds as though you're unhappy with the way you're being treated? I'll say the same as I…

Weight loss and gain is a really difficult journey for lots of people, both physically and emotionally. Probably therapy would help you through the emotional and psychological aspects of your weight loss. It sounds like your boyfriend is very very invested in your weight loss, but if you are too frightened to be honest…

Thank you all, it is coming up on my feed as I'm friends with people who posting statuses about overdoing it, so it's not a post in the community section. I think my best bet is to delete them as friends. You're right; it must come up within any calorie counting site, and I can't change that, sadly. I appreciate the advice…

I also have social anxiety but I love commenting and chatting and keeping in touch with people!

Aw, chicken and veg twice a day does sound pretty dull! Fish (salmon and tuna, and probably a lot more but I mostly eat salmon and tuna), eggs, yoghurt, lean beef, lentils, nut butter, nuts, tofu. Try mixing up and trying different things, adding some protein to snacks, or breakfast, and experimenting with different…

I live in an area with loooads of hills (my home is at the very top of one of the steepest hills in town..) so I find that adds a lot to a walk. I try to go as fast as I can, although frankly I'm usually walking to and from work. If I'm walking to work, I can only go so fast without feeling like I need to shower once I get…

It sounds a lot like you're struggling in more areas than just weight - you mentioned your stressful job and your depression coming back at the end of your post. For me, when things get too much, sensible eating and being active is the first thing to go. When life is hard to handle, a coping mechanism like eating…

Hi! I'm from Somerset. Feel free to add me; most of my friends on here are from the US and are off to bed as I get up as well!

I'm really sorry about your job. It's great that you're being honest with your self (I have a habit of going into denial about my bad habits). My advice would be to be kind to yourself. What's happened to you sucks, and anyone would struggle to cope. You, like so many of us, are probably using over indulgence as a coping…

I feel your pain! I find largely I snack out of habit rather than real hunger. I like to mix up seeds, nits and fruits in little portions, with chopped up dark chocolate mixed in (I like sugar a lot), and chopped up vegetables. I find that trying to cut out snacking just makes me go overboard when I finally do let myself…

Hi! I'm 24, also looking for motivation, and trying to stay accountable for my progress. Add me if you like!

That sounds like an amazing goal! I'm 24 and from the UK, but I have mental health issues which make it really hard for me to be sensible when trying to look after my body. I like being aware of what, when and why I'm eating / exercising, which is why I enjoy the app. Problems come when I start feeling competitive and…

I'm not really in a similar situation as such - I have a mental illness which makes it more difficult to look after my body, so I'm starting to get back into things now after a long while of struggling. Just wanted to say that I think it's great that you're trying, and I hope it goes well for you!
